Guards Issiah Grayson and Tyrell Corbin won the duel in the backcourt.

Grayson and Corbin combined for 46 points, and their teammates mopped up on the glass as Bakersfield emerged with an easy 90-64 victory Wednesday night at UTSA.

In a battle of programs nicknamed Roadrunners, Bakersfield showed up at the Convocation Center packing a five-game losing streak.

The streak was a mirage.

Bakersfield broke open a close game after intermission and held a double-digit lead for most of the second half, putting a damper on the opener of UTSA's three-game homestand.

Grayson, a 5-foot-11 senior from Atlanta, supplied most of the firepower with 31 points. He also nailed six of Bakersfield's 12 3-point shots.

Corbin, the son of Utah Jazz coach Tyrone Corbin, hit three treys and scored 15 points.

UTSA coach Brooks Thompson wasn't happy with his team's resolve when things went wrong in the second half.

“They kept making shots,” he said. “They took us out of rhythm with their press. And the biggest thing, I think, is they just out-competed us.”

Bakersfield (6-6) hit 60 percent from the field in the second half and doubled up the home team on the boards (32-16), snapping a two-game winning streak for UTSA (3-7).

UTSA had its moments early by pressing, forcing turnovers and attacking the basket.

It was a five-point game at the half before everything unraveled.

Still, UTSA senior forward Jordan Sims isn't conceding anything, even with star big man Jeromie Hill lost for the season with a knee injury.

“It's just a matter of sticking it out and staying with the goal,” Sims said. “We're getting better. We have a lot of guys who didn't play last year, so our chemistry is getting better. There's still a lot of upside to the season.”
